Re: [xsl] Use document() function to get a reference to the input doc

Charles,

A variable holding the input document is usually simply

<xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="/" />

Perhaps you're over-remembering? No document() function needed.

Cheers,
Wendell

I wish to use the document() function to create a variable holding the input document. My stylesheet contains this element:

<xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="document('/')" />

When I run the transform, Saxon complains that I may not have any content in the prologue. I know this is a huge clue as to what I've done wrong, but I just can't see it. What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?
